Abstract
An increased overall number of reflux episodes and enhanced sensitivity to reflux are strongly associated with treatment failure. Treatment strategies aimed at decreasing transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations, pain modulators or anti-reflux surgery should be considered in non-responders in whom a significant relationship between symptoms and reflux has been confirmed.
